Does this product work well for international travel, particularly Europe?

I have used this in the USA, Europe and Mexico with great results. I did replace the AT&T; firmware with the generic Novatel firmware to make the unit truly unlocked and able to work on any 3G network. See this Amazon review for the details on this: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1V09NMNEN7GSU/

I purchased 2 unlocked Novatel 2372 units for use throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Both units initially had the same problem...the battery became extremely hot, causing one of the units to "cook" and "die". The second unit functions quite well however, I use it without the battery plugged into either AC or 12VDC. you should know, as I found out, that the units are older units out of warranty that have been unlocked. When I contacted Novatel I was advised that: 1. They do not manufacture and/or sell "unlocked hot spots" each model is manufactured for a specific client telcom company. They do provide unlock codes to those companies and thus this is hoow they become unlocked. 2. They said that most likely the battery was "old" and had been "uncharged" for too long a period as therfore they caused the overheating problem. Operation of the remianing unit, with the battery removed, has been flawless for several months on multiple phone company digital SIM cards, so if non-battery operation is acceptable it would be fine. Note: I have attempted to purchase a new battery in several places in my travels, however have been unable to find one in my remote travels. I would purchase a fresh battery in the U.S. before departing.

Yes it does work very well. Am using it in Africa right now. With any mobile network. So it should work anywhere else.

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

I used this in Ireland with an adapter. It is great for travel but it is very small. I now keep it in the office for touch ups.

I have used it in London, Monaco, Florence and Paris. Works great, but you do need a voltage converter, also sold at Amazon. MP

Yes, it does work in Europe. You will probably have to download the Europe data base though. Navigon made in Germany and very popular there.

It's a pretty cool little gadget. It worked for us in the Netherlands and France. It has changeable parts so I imagine it would.
